Reviewed By Farrah - Rome, NY | Traveled to Bahamas ~ Caribbean
Taylor was incredible! Knowing how much she does aside from being a travel agent, the amount of personalized work she put in for our trip was just so impressive and appreciated! Her thorough communication and quick responses along with all her suggestions was also very helpful. She also took the time to personally chat with me on zoom prior to our trip to help us prepare.
Taylor Rippey responded
"Farrah, it was a pleasure to work with you and assist you in planning your first cruise! I can't wait to help plan all of your future vacations!"
